The Slants
**The Slants** are an Asian-American synthrock band from Portland, Oregon, known for their high-energy beats and unapologetic embrace of identity. Formed in the mid-2000s, the group blends new wave, dance-rock, and pop with lyrics that challenge stereotypes and celebrate cultural pride. Fronted by founder/bassist Simon Tam, The Slants made headlines beyond music when they fought a landmark Supreme Court case (2017) to trademark their name—a purposeful reclamation of a racial slur—solidifying their role as activists for free speech and Asian-American representation.
Their discography, including albums like *Slanted Eyes, Slanted Hearts* and *The Band Who Must Not Be Named*, mixes anthemic tracks with introspective themes, while playful releases like *Merry Christmas (i Don’t Want to Fight Tonight)* showcase their cheeky humor. Whether cranking out dancefloor-ready bops or holiday tunes, The Slants keep their mission loud and clear: rocking hard, breaking barriers, and owning every slant along the way.
